OCTOBER 8, 2016 - FLORENCEVILLE 200M PRONE/BR - RESULTS

It was a great day for shooting at the Florenceville Range. The sun was out all day and we came away with a bit of a burn on our faces. There was no rain and the temperature rose to about 15C. The wind was a factor at this range. The predominant wind was uprange towards the targets but often would quickly shift to a left/right wind or the entire opposite. Although there were some very strong gusts lasting a few seconds, for the most part the wind was very light - perhaps 15 to 20km/hr. It was not hard to shoot in the same condition throughout most of the match.Six shooters, three from the southern part of the province, enjoyed the shooting and some very good relays were shot. Two shooters competed in the prone position while the rest shot benchrest for score.The Match Director today, was Ash P. and the scorers were Ash P. and Alan C. with help from the whole crew. Alan C. was the RO for one relay while Greg was the RO for the other. We all made the trek to the 200m targets to change them. A really nice walk - seriously!RESULTS - PRONE @ 200m:Bert deV. - 100/5X + 100/7X + 100/8X = 300/20X (308)Ash P. - 95/1X + 96/3X + 96/1X = 287/5X (308)
